If you're Catholic, Orthodox, or conservative Lutheran, no, he can't take communion.
Anyhow, no one can be a "partial" Christian.

Can someone be "partially pregnant"?
A Christian is someone who has accepted the teachings of Christ on faith, believes in the divine nature of Christ, understands that the wages of sin are death, and has been publicly Baptized as a testimony of their faith.
Communion is sometimes reserved for people who understand the full significance of the ritual. Some are far more relaxed about it and will welcome anyone who wants to participate.
Ask your minister. Usually, if they serve real wine and real unleavened bread, that is a sign that the ritual is for believers in Christ and not for visitors (upon whom the symbolism and expensive wine would be a waste). Sliced sourdough and Welch's Grape Juice from Walmart is nearly always a much more public ceremony.

You can "invite" them all you want to take communion. But you cannot be a partial Christian. Your either "in Christ", or your not. Its like being "a little bit pregnant"....theBerean
